This double feature, the first of which was filmed by
Jean Dulez, and covers an enthusiasts' steam tour during March 1996, at a
time when remaining main line steam in the North East was starting to be
phased out by China Rail. The motive power comprises main line QY class
2-10-2s and JS class 2-8-2s, SY industrial class 2-8-2 and a narrow gauge
0-8-0; there are also scenes within the towns and cities and of human
activity at the various locations, as well as passing sequences of regular
main line diesel trains.

The second programme, filmed some years later during
mid winter 2002 by Trevor Staats, covers the entire Jing Peng pass line
(situated on the main Tongliao to Jining link, Inner Mongolia) prior to
the time this also succumbed to dieselisation, a short number of years
later. This was the final hold out of (provincial) main line steam in
China, mostly comprising double headed QJ freight train action over the
horseshoes and viaducts of this amazing section of
railway.

This 3hr 15min programme covers the twilight of
regular steam in both countries. There is comprehensive coverage in
various locations for narrow, metre and broad gauge trains, filmed by Roy
Laverick and Peter Strudwicke.

This programme features the following by way of the
final remaining regular steam operations:

All the classic types of narrow, metre and broad
gauge steam locomotives are featured.
